Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Nightmare Custody Battle where do i stand legally?
Im trying to make a long story short. To start off i would like an Attorney from dfw area thats willing to represent me in Sherman TX. Had custody of my son until he wanted to go live with his father at age 10. Father owed lots of back child support he paid @300.00 total in 10 yrs. His attorney wrote up the papers. As of yet im not ordered to pay C.S.i DO HAVE VISITATIONS BUT ITS A BATTLE. Finally i got tired of all the lies and excuses and told them last week i was picking him up anyways and they could call the cops if they wanted to. Anyhow they are mad and now wanting to file C.S. on me. Where do i stand legally on this with him owing me back pay? The father is an illegal immigrant and has no Social Security Number. This whole custody transfer has been a nightmare. They always get my son involved with our problems. Im a stay at home mom just had a baby, but my husband has a good, steady job he's willing to pay my attorney fees. And what are my options?

I don't know how long the child lived with his father, but that could be an offeset against child support that he owes you. If they decide to take you to court, be sure and file a motion to enforce and a motion for contempt. Might have an effect. Might be a good idea to go ahead and do that. Might settle things down a smidgeon.
